Hershey Gives the Biggest of Breaks to Victim of Stolen Kit Kat

Kansas State University student Hunter Jobbins found himself the victim of auto burglary and, most tragically, Kit Kat theft on Sunday. A chocolate-craving criminal broke into the freshman's unlocked car, stole the candy bar from Jobbins' cup holder and left behind a handwritten apology on a napkin. The bizarre and random act prompted an immediate reaction and upload on Twitter, which – thanks to the power of social media – now has close to 500,000 likes.

Luckily for Jobbins, the good folks at the Hershey Company caught wind of his viral post and responded immediately with "Who steals someone's Kit Kat?! WHO DOES THAT?! Shoot us a DM and we'll replace it for you."

Replace they did with a delivery of 6,500 bars.

Remember the story about the dude who had the KitKat stolen out of his car, and the a**hole robber left the note? Hershey HOOKED HIM UP! pic.twitter.com/bAek14szD4

Rather than stowing the candy and reveling in a lifetime supply of chocolate, Jobbins decided to pay it forward by handing out Kit Kats to fellow students. (Hats off to the marketing and PR teams at Hershey's).
